College Spirit

A conversation between father and son, as reported by Adam:

Adam: I have to get ready for work
Doodles: Why?
Adan: To earn money.
Doodles: Why?
Adam: Mommy and Daddy work to earn money so we can buy you clothes, and food, and send you to college. Do you want to go to college?
Doodles nods
Adam: Do you want to go to state college or private college?
Doodles: Private college.
Adam: Okay, but you're going to have to do your homework and get good grades.
Doodles groaned. (Seriously!)
